- 3-year legal guarantee on manufacturing defects.
- Shipping and returns — dispatch within 2 working days.

Three things to know before you buy
One · where this pair can rub
- 1
Across the top of the instep
The strap crosses the highest point of your foot. If your instep is near the upper end of this style's range, the strap sits under tension there for the whole wear.
What reduces it: Loosen one hole and check the strap can still hold the foot. If it already sits at the loosest hole, this style is at its limit for your instep — an anti-rub pad under the strap will reduce friction but will not create height.
- 2
At the outer side opening
With nothing enclosing the side of the foot, the foot shifts sideways on the bed and the little toe meets the rim.
What reduces it: Tighten the forefoot strap by one hole so the foot stops travelling. If the style has no adjustment, size down only if the length chart supports it.
Two · break-in
Leather straps start firm. Expect 3–5 wears before they take the shape of your foot. Wear them indoors first and keep the first outdoor wear short.
Leather Strap Softener — USD 28Three · barefoot wear
Worn barefoot, the footbed takes sweat directly. Wipe it with a barely damp cloth after each wear and let it dry away from direct sun. The leather will darken where the ball of your foot and heel sit — that is patina, and it is a characteristic of unfinished leather, not a fault.
How to clean a footbed
Pads cut for the 2 points marked above
across the top of the instep, at the outer side opening — the shapes in this set are cut for exactly these positions. They go on the sandal, not on your skin.
